Problem 1: A boiler is constructed of 8-mm thick steel plates that are fastened together at their ends using

a butt joint consisting of two 8-mm cover plates and rivets having a diameter of 10 mm and spaced 50 mm
apart as shown. If the steam pressure in the boiler is 1.35 MPa, determine (a) the circumferential stress in
the boiler’s plate apart from the seam, (b) the circumferential stress in the outer cover plate along the rivet
line a–a, and (c) the shear stress in the rivets.

Problem 2: If the load has a weight of 600 lb, determine the maximum normal stress developed on the
cross section of the supporting member at section a – a . Also, plot the normal stress distribution over the
cross-section.

Problem 3: The column is built up by gluing the two identical boards together. If the wood has an
allowable normal stress of 𝜎𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤 = 6 MPa, determine the maximum allowable eccentric force P that can be
applied to the column.
